Dave has an NSCAA “Advance Regional License” (now Junior Level VI Diploma) which is equivalent to an "E" license and will continue to update his qualifications. Home Pitch and Practice: One of the unique aspects of Leesburg Football Club is that they own their own fields. We have recently put in almost $50,000 in field improvements and will be playing on Bermuda grass come the Fall. The facilities have never been better! As such, there is certainty and consistent locations for practices and home games. The Leesburg FC Complex is DRAFT 1 – SUBJECT TO CHANGE located at 1002 E Market St Leesburg, Virginia, 20175 behind KM Oak Furniture store. It is my goal to have practices on Monday at Leesburg FC Complex and Wednesday at Evergreen SportsPlex on turf, but this is subject to change and availability.

Additional commitment may include technical training, which is held once per week. This team plays games on Sundays (and occasional Saturdays).

All players and parents should be aware of the commitment required for this team: This team is a year-­‐round team and will train two times a week as well as participate in additional technical training sessions and play games on the weekend (spring/fall). It will also require various winter and summer training commitments. The number of practices and the requirement for attendance at practices and games will necessitate a very high degree of dedication on the part of all team players and their parents. If your child is selected and you cannot make such a commitment, please do not accept a spot on the team. One of the other teams should be able to match your ability level and commitment. If you are accepted on the team and cannot maintain your commitments to the team, the coach will limit your playing time to represent your level of commitment in all areas. In accordance with “VYSA Policy Regarding Nonpayment of Club/Team Financial Obligations by Travel Players”, approved in April 2012, players may be released by the team for non-­‐payment of club or team fees. A team may release a player from the team roster for failure to meet financial obligations as outlined in VYSA Registration Manual (5.27). Accordingly, VYSA will not process a transfer of a player from one club/team to another during the seasonal year if that player is not current on his or her financial obligations.
